The future is cloud computing. People no longer buy DVDs or Blu-Ray, or CDs. Now you stream your music on apps, or watch your movies and listen to your music on your tablet or smart TV using an app. It never wears out, and the quality doesn't degrade the more you view it, and you never lose it, scratch it, etc. And it's available 24/7 on demand.

 

It seemed so high tech back then!

 

Digital data degrades. Digital is not permanent.

 

Yeah, but I still save to hard storage for back up. The cloud will get hacked or wiped... and ur screwed... Public public public info...

 

Where is my pencil and paper?

 

I've got two words for you...fountain pens!

Come on Bing, don't you fancy another hobby in which to spend $100-$300 per collectible?

 

I know I have a piece of coal here somewhere.

 

8 tracks were kinda cool (but not really) ...

=> vinyl was and still is the coolest



Yah ... if those babies could talk (*hic => cough-cough*)

 

Oh man, I may get banned from this forum for saying this, but when I was in my freshman year of college my university decided to get rid of it's vinyl collection. They put a dozen boxes of vinyl records outside the door of the library, and a bunch of us freshmen picked them up and used them as freesbies. Not very smart, as those things hurt when you got hit by them, and I probably could have kept a box or two and sold them down the line, but we were just a bunch of kids who didn't know better.

 

SACRILEGE! You should be drawn and quartered, burned at the stake, or well just ban him!!!!!!!!!

Hey sorry ... I haven't bought a new coin for soooooooo long (I'm goin' fricken crazy!!)

Here are two songs that were posted on another thread.

Man, I really want to see The Jungle Book ... the previews look cool

Sadly, it wasn't playing when we were in the big city, so we saw Captain America instead (which luckily, was a pretty cool flick as well)

Mag-Max, it is funny that you're glad that you are a Millennial (I am sooooo glad that I grew-up in a time when I had to go outside to find something fun to do ... like play road hockey, ride my bike, or go to the beach with my buddies) ......

However, I'm glad to hear that you must have had a fun time growing-up as well, for you're now singing the same song that I'm singing (I always joke with the young millennials that are in my office => they always bug me and call me Fred Flintstone ...... I just laugh, because I loved the Flintstones!!)

 

Ummm, is it wrong that I love this song? ... I find myself strutting around whenever I hear it (yup, apparently while this song is playing I have some rhythm!! ... who knew?)

 

hahah OMG. Love it.

 

First Ptolemy for me I love it except I'm a bit confused here . Auction site says it's Ptolemy I. But it's attributed Ptolemy II head of Ptolemy I. I dont really mind I love the coin but shouldnt it be labeled Ptolemy II?
